Your support makes all the difference.Nikki Glaser revealed that she suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction at the 2025 Golden Globes.
The 40-year-old comedian shared a hilarious video of herself getting ready for the awards ceremony, which she also hosted, to Instagram on Sunday (January 5). In the footage, Glaser lip-syncs Taylor Swift’s hit song, “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?,” from the singer’s 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department.
At one point in the footage, which shows Glaser strutting the red carpet, the top of her gold, strapless dress slips down. Still, the comedian continued to passionately lip sync and strut down the hallway.
To handle the wardrobe malfunction, she covered her exposed nipple with the word “Oops,” written in a black box. The phrase continued to appear on her chest in other parts of the video, including when she hilariously fell to the ground and looked intensely at the camera.
In the caption, she quipped about people being afraid of her, writing: “You really shouldn’t be…”
While walking the red carpet at the Golden Globes last night, Glaser wore a gold silk dress by Prabal Gurung, with an overskirt, plunging necklace, and rosette detail at the hip. She paired her look with gold dangling earrings and silver rings.
During the awards ceremony, Glaser donned more than 10 outfits. Her opening monologue took aim at a variety of topics, including voting, Hollywood sex scandals, and Timothee Chalamet’s facial hair.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be your host tonight,” the comedian, who is known for her dark and often offensive brand of humor, said. “A room full of producers in at the Beverly Hilton and this time I have all my clothes on.”
“I’m not here to roast you tonight, how could I, you’re all so powerful. You could really do anything, except tell the country who to vote for, it’s ok you’ll do it next time,” she added.
Glaser went out to single out several famous faces, telling Zendaya: “I woke up for all of your scenes in Dune: Part Two.” She added: “Challengers, girl oh my God that was so good, that movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card. I know I’m upset too, the afterparty isn’t going to be as good this year but we have to move on.”
However, her joke about Diddy didn’t land well. The crowd of A-listers in the room sighed and groaned at the mention of Diddy, and the quip has since been branded “gross” and “crazy” by viewers.
Last year, Combs was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, with federal prosecutors saying that the music mogul and his associates threatened, abused, and coerced women and others around him “to fulfill his sexual desires”. He has denied any wrongdoing. During the raid on his house, police recovered “more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant”.
Elsewhere during the Golden Globes, Selena Gomez was praised for her response after losing to her co-star Zoe Saldaña, while Demi Moore delivered a rousing speech after winning for body horror film The Substance, revealing that she almost quit acting a few years ago due to a lack of roles.
